CHINO KAORIMEMORIAL PRIZE

The Japan Art History Forum’s Chino Kaori Memorial Essay Prize recognizes outstanding graduate student scholarship in Japanese art history. The prize was established in 2003 in memory of our distinguished colleague Chino Kaori, and is awarded annually to the best research paper written in English on a Japanese art history topic.

Thanks to a generous gift from the Japanese Art Society of America (JASA), the winner of the 2018 competition will receive a prize of $1,000. JASA has pledged to support the Chino Kaori Prize in this way until the year 2020.

The prize is also generously supported by the University of Hawai’i Press. The prize recipient will be awarded $250 in books from the University of Hawai’i Press catalogue as well as a complimentary two-year membership to JAHF.
